Great weight loss app

I've been polling some of my patients about what apps they use to track their healthy behaviors.  Hands down, this app has gotten the highest recommendations - Lose It.

I've test drove the app for the past week.  I am beyond impressed with how in-depth the app is.  It allows you to track both caloric intake and exercise (or calories burned).  It allows you to see up a caloric budgets - this is great for diabetics who need to stay on a calorie-restricted diet.  It also allows for social media sharing.  There is no doubt that weight loss programs are more successful when they are undertaken with friends.

Let me know what you think.  If you have any other health-related programs or apps you'd like me to talk about, email me at jcunnar@dupagefamilymedicine.com.
